Welcome to the first episode of 'Hustle & Harmony' with the Cole sisters, Julia and Emily! They're here to help you find balance while following your dreams. This episode dives into their backgrounds – Emily's recent transition from college athletics at Duke, finishing her fifth year of track and cross country, and Julia's career in the music industry. While those might seem like total opposites, they find similarities in their challenges and triumphs along the way. J + E chat about topics like the pressures and impacts of social media, the importance of forming supportive connections, and struggles with mental health. They tie a bow on their first episode with their weekly book club talk and a quick Q+A: how is Emily's mental health? When is Julia releasing Diamondback? (Spoiler alert: It's out now!) Hear a little glimpse into the sisterhood and tune in every Monday to start the week on the right track with the Cole Team.
